    if you are goign to put it in a 300ct + humidor then i feel its worth it. if its smaller i would stick with beads.

    hmmm I'm gonna use a cooler so i think anything i get is going to be a 300Ct is there a specific volume for different Count?

    With a cooler I'd just use the beads. The beads will tell you what kind of volume they are good for, and you can match that to the coolers volume. However, I've found with my coolers that my humidity is much, much more efficient since it's a totally sealed environment, and I've needed much less in the way of humidity devices. I'm not positive if it's the same with beads since I've been using boveda packs, but I'd imagine it is. I still need to buy some of those conservagel beads sometime and try them out.

    +1 to what Kuzi and Russ55 have said; that's been my experience as well. You only really need an electronic humidifier if you have above a 300 count, but a cooler has such good sealing, that beads will do just fine

    I don't like to think of it as SAVING money per se, I would spend the same amount, but just carry the remainder over to more cigars!
